Hermit Superpower

Since I've basically been sheltering in place for 10 years (I work from home and so I am home all the time) I've gained a super-power:

I can tell if there is a window or door open anywhere in my house from any place in my house. Why? I dunno. Maybe because I am so used to the ambient sounds in my place that the slightest change registers. I only have a normal hearing range for my age (actually I have a little bit of tinnitus). It's my one super power, apparently.

What new powers will you gain from being at home all the time? Yes, this is a stupid thread.

When no one is looking at me, I can become invisible.

I will probably gain the ability to strangle myself because my wife is home too.

Tolerance, patience... i've been a semi hermit, self isolating and social distancing for the past 25 years, now i have to share our rather small space 24/7 with two others, granted adults but a big change, i cherished all that alone time.

I'm learning how to fart letters of the alphabet.  During my premiere recital, my kids stopped me after P.U.  They were not impressed.

That's just good parenting.

My pet rats have gained a superpower over me. The only food in the house is stuff they like and they tell me when i should eat. I am now nocturnal, and drink my beer out of tiny cups that are easy to dip face in.

Saw a term last night that I thought perfectly summed up our current situation (I mean for those of us lucky enough not to be sick): "pajama apocalypse".

It's funny that just a couple months ago Graham and I were working on ideas for the new record and I floated the idea of it being a sort of rock/synth wave post apocalypse soundtrack. We had a conference call this week and I said maybe we should just do happy pop songs instead.

You can call it happy little bushes.

Yeah, this whole thing doesn't make we want to pull a Phillip K Dick book off the shelf.

I think if I have a superpower these days it is probably letting my kid's watch way to much crap on tv.
